Hi

I am trying to build a broadband UNUN 9:1 from 1.8 mhz to 30mhz. I
have had no luck.

The first one the that I built, I used #67 material
snip

The question is simply how do I build a broadband UNUN or
Autotransformer from 1.8mhz to 30mhz and what core do I use? I am
coming to the conclusion that these auto transformers or high
impedance UNUN's are narrow band devices?

I am playing around with a terminated T2FD type antenna trying
different impedances, 450,600,800 and 1000 ohms termination resistors.

Here are some papers that may help.

These came from here, there are others.

Thanks for all the information.

The 9:1 works with 8 turns trifilar, on the FT240-67 from 80 through
to 10 meters. Its poor on 160 meters.

All the cores are FT 240 size from Amidon or Bytemark. I can get the
transformers to work but only over a narrow frequency range for the
higher impedance ratios.

I notice that the Sevick UNUN thats sold by Bytemark, a 18:1 ratio
is narrow band and wont cover 1.8mhz to 30 mhz. Anyhow i dont have
the magic recipe yet but I will keep experimenting.
